Katie Hopkins has landed her own panel show.
The 40-year-old TV personality is set to front 'If Katie Hopkins Ruled The World', in which comedians and celebrities will be invited to discuss their views with the programme's controversial host.
Making the announcement on Twitter, Katie said: "I welcome those who hate me".
Guest names have still to be revealed, but Katie has promised the show could "get messy".
Meanwhile, one of Katie's biggest opponents, actress Denise Welch, reacted almost immediately to the news on Twitter.
She posted: "It's The Katie Hopkins Show! And tonight..we laugh at fat, ginger people, bonkers ones, poor people and a few who've lost their marbles!! (sic)"
Despite this, Katie is confident she will garner support from the public.
She said: "People often tell me that I say the things they think but don't have the courage to say.
"In this new show I'll be the little voice inside their heads!"
'If Katie Hopkins Ruled The World' - which will air on TLC in August - will see an audience asked to judge whose opinion wins and whether a fictional rule should be passed.

Lewis Bloor claims being sober is the "best".
'The Only Way Is Essex' star - who recently went on a trip to Marbella, Spain, with his co-stars to kick off the new season of the ITVBe reality show - is enjoying taking a break from drinking to get his life organised.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, the fitness fanatic said: "Being sober is the strangest but best thing I've done, the funnest times we all have together as a group is when we all go for a meal and we're able to just chat, rather than a nightclub.
"In Marbs I loved being sober because I was just sitting and chilling having chats with people while people were dancing."
The 24-year-old hunk - who previously confessed his relationship with co-star Lauren Pope failed because of their age difference - also revealed his new sensible self is now ready to settle down with someone new.
He explained: "I'm trying to take my time with looking for someone. I don't want something good, I want something great. I want someone amazing.
"There was no one out there in Marbs that caught my eye but I'm ready to find someone."
And although his romance with Lauren felt "rushed", he feels like he learnt a lot from their time together so is confident his next relationship will work out.
He confessed: "I've spent a lot of time on my own though over the years and I've really liked that and found myself.
"The two girlfriends that I had before Lauren were serious and they took time to grow and develop, with Lauren, things were a little bit rushed and that taught me a lot, the next relationship I have will hopefully be something of substance."

Rochelle Humes is the favourite to be the next 'Xtra Factor' host.
The Saturdays star is reportedly auditioning for the gig, which would see her go up against her husband and 'The Voice' presenter, Marvin, on prime-time TV.
An 'X Factor' insider revealed: "The decision over who will take over on 'The Xtra factor' will be made soon and Rochelle is one of the leading contenders."
The 26-year-old beauty has shaken off her persona as a singer in recent years by hosting slots on 'This Morning', 'Strictly Come Dancing' and most recently, ITV's 'Ninja Warrior UK' alongside seasoned presenters Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara.
And TV bosses think she ticks all the boxes for the job on the popular talent show.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "She's got a lot of presenting experience, she's funny and likeable, and knows how the pop game works."
The star will be up against Brian Dowling, 36, and her pal, the Kiss Fm DJ Melvin ODoom, who are also auditioning.
If Rochelle is successful, she would follow in the footsteps of former 'Xtra Factor' presenters Caroline Flack and Olly Murs, who are now presenting the main show.

Nikki Grahame is desperate to share a bed with "gorgeous" housemate Christian when she enters the 'Big Brother: Timebomb' house.
The blonde beauty - who was a contestant on the reality show in 2006 - is heading back into the famous house and admits she has her "eye on" model Christian.
She said: "I hope we're sharing a bed.
"I've had my eye on him. I might tease him a bit - he's gorgeous. The only reason I'd chuck him out of bed is to s**g him on the floor."
The reality star is set to join the show along with two other former housemates including last year's winner Helen Wood, who famously bedded footballer Wayne Rooney.
Nikki shot to fame in the house and became well-known for her dramatic tantrums, including her now famous line, "Who IS she?!' and her romance with 2006 series winner Pete Bennett.
'Big Brother' host Emma Willis first revealed former housemates would be returning to the show when she announced tonight's (12.06.15) fake eviction would see them thrown into a secret lair with the contestant who receives the least public votes.
Meanwhile, Nikki previously claimed she's "mellowed" since her first stint on the show.
She said: "I was a real crazy character, wasn't I? But that was like ten years ago. I had a lot of nervous energy, I've mellowed."

Chris Evans thinks the one-off 'TFI Friday' special is like a "World Cup final".
The 49-year-old presenter - who fronted the Channel 4 show from 1996 until 2000 - is eagerly looking forward to the programme's return tonight (12.06.15) and has likened the experience to David Beckham coming out of retirement to play in the biggest game of his career.
Chris said: "It's like David Beckham getting to the age of 49 and then being asked if he wants to play not in a charity match but the World Cup final.
"And it really is the World Cup final - that's what it feels like for me."
However, Chris also insisted he's "more sane and lot more stable" than when he last presented the iconic show.
He told The Sun newspaper: "The only thing that has changed is me. I am a lot more relaxed.
"I am a lot happier. I have less hair but most of it is painted orange by my hairdresser!
"I'm a bit more sane and lot more stable. Also, I know what the show is. I never used to know what the bloody show was because we were so seat-of-our-pants. That's how it ended, anyway. But watching the old shows back, there was a lot more thought that went into it than I remembered.
"It is like going to a party - you sort of remember the end and the beginning but you forget about the middle. The four years, we did actually do some work.
"My interpretation of it was that we must have just been larking around but we weren't. I've been watching clips and it is almost always joyous. People say they expect to see me having a good time."
The much-anticipated programme will feature a star-studded list of guests - including Amanda Seyfried, Jeremy Clarkson and Liam Gallagher - but Chris is particularly looking forward to his 89-year-old mum Minnie making an appearance.
He explained: "She did the show loads in the past but never thought she would do it again.
"I got to spend four hours with my mum filming on Tuesday, which for me was a dream."

Ben Cohen's mother in law believes Kristina Rihanoff "ruined" his marriage to her estranged daughter.
The former England rugby star split from his wife Abby after it was claimed he had an affair with his 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Kristina in 2013 and his mother in law Felicity Bassouls has now revealed she thinks the professional dancer is "70 per cent" responsible for the breakdown of their 11-year marriage.
She said: "I felt Kristina has ruined their marriage. I know it takes two but I think she's 70 per cent to blame.
"Ben and Abby were childhood sweethearts. He was devoted to her."
Felicity was this week cleared off harassing Ben, 36, and insists she only ever called to confront him about how his behaviour was affecting her family.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Every time there was something in the paper about Ben I would phone him up and say, 'There's something in the paper again, What are you doing to this family? I'm so worried about Abby'."
The 67-year-old mother and grandmother - who is desperate to reconnect with Abby and her and Ben's two children - can't believe how her relationship with Ben has deteriorated.
She explained: "I was crying sometimes. I have known him since he was 16 ... We loved Ben. He came into our family, he was lovely. And he loved us as well. I just thought he loved Abby so much."
Felicity is planning to visit the Grandparent's Association in a bid to arrange a sit down with her daughter but claims if she still refuses to allow her to see her grandchildren, she will "take it to court".
Meanwhile, a representative for Kristina blasted Felicity's claims as untrue when approached by the newspaper.

Lauren Goodger has rubbished claims she followed her ex-fiance Mark Wright and his new wife Michelle Keegan to Dubai.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star was rumoured to have travelled to Dubai - where the new couple were on their honeymoon - hoping to bump into Mark but it's now been revealed she was actually on holiday with ex-boyfriend Jake McLean in the neighbouring city of Abu Dhabi after they rekindled their romance last month and only made the short journey to Dubai for dinner one night.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Lauren and Jake have been back together for a few weeks now.
"They have been on date nights in London and Essex, and things were heating up so much they decided to go on a last minute holiday.
"She says it was just a coincidence that it happened to be where Mark and Michelle were on honeymoon, but it's weird that until Mark kicked off, the only photo she published online was in Dubai when they were there for such a short space of time."
Meanwhile, Mark - who broke off his engagement to Lauren in 2011 after dating on and off for over ten years - hit out at his former fiancee earlier this week for constantly talking about him in her magazine column.
However, she has since responded to his Twitter rant insisting she only mentions him when false accusations are made about her.
Her agent released a statement saying: "Mark is right - this situation is incredibly embarrassing ... It's hurtful for Lauren to constantly be painted in this way ... That is why Lauren has taken to her own column in the past to defend herself against ludicrous claims such as the one that said she was going to gatecrash the wedding."

Amanda Clapham wishes her 'Hollyoaks' character wore more clothes.
The blonde actress portrays Holly Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap and often feels cold on set because of the schoolgirl's skimpy outfits.
She admitted: "Holly likes waist skirts and crop tops, so sometimes I wish I could wear more clothes when it's cold."
Though Amanda enjoys playing Holly, she would love to see her character go to the "dark side" and spend more time with local gangsters Trevor Royle (Greg Wood) and Grace Black (Tamara Wall).
She said: "Holly hasn't done anything wrong really, apart from cheating on her boyfriend, so I'd want to see her go to the dark side.
"I could wear a wig and go and hang around with Grace and Trevor."
However, Amanda admits there is no such drama in store for Holly.
She said: "Holly is going through so much with her mum's bipolar disorder and her boyfriend Jason's eating disorder. So this year is about them. But she also has some great new friends at college."
And the young actress doesn't want her real life to be anything like the show.
She told We Love Pop magazine: "I wish it was less like it because there's so much drama already."
